Not with ReportLab.  That's not what it is for.

There are many tools to do this, however.  I like PDFCreator, which is a
free, open source tool.  Like most such tools, it installs itself as a
fake printer: you print to the PDFCreator printer, and it produces a PDF
file.

In Office 2007, Word has this ability built-in.  No add-ons are needed.
